(computer, not mobile device)
Currently using Chrome, but I think I'm going back to Firefox; heard good things about Waterfox too
Opera isnt bad TBH, but I prefer Chrome and FF
As for Safari, I guess it works well on Macs, but on Windows it's shit

Chrome. I got sick of Firefox using 2-4 GB of RAM, so even though I like things like being able to search with the / key instead of CTRL+F, not worth it have it eating up all my memory.

Chrome has been creeping up bad in RAM usage recently too tbh. I still like it way more than that POS firefox.

What was the last version you tried? It rarely goes over 512MB here.

Something weird happening to me lately with Chrome on Spurstalk
I cant quote posts on ST, tells me I have 9-10 posts already selected - but there is nothing lol
On FF, no problem

I had been using Firefox 21.0, and it's memory usage was awful. You'd load a few youtubes and they'd never get released from memory until you killed the process.

chrome is the SHIT, the perfect combination of speed and stability. some websites (like online e-bank) only support IE, otherwise I'd have already uninstalled that shit to save some disk space. there must be some undertable deals between those websites and microsoft, bill gates is such a mothafucker, fairfox is better than IE (any browser is better than IE actually) but not much.

maybe you can try not opening 9-10 pages at once, that'll help a bit imho

Opera, but who knows what it will become with the upcoming changes. I'll have to re-evaluate my options at that time.

Not a problem here, but I'm using the Mac version, so that might be it.

Firefox. It eats up a lot of memory but that's why my CPU has a lot of it. Can never do without my set of add-ons, although Firefox doesn't have TweetDeck.

Tweetdeck extension for chrome fails several times a day for me, but it's no hassle to reopen. Also like feedly cloud client works in chrome. Sync with ipad client is just a bonus for chrome too.

Jesus, I never noticed an issue with that much ram being used.
Fuck it, got 16 GB ram anyways. I love being able to delete the just the last 2 hours worth of porn history on Firefox.

Have you tried the "IE Tab" extension from the chrome web store? It emulates IE for sites that don't support Chrome.

I go back and forth between FF and Chrome ... mostly FF lately
For some reason, I havent been able to quote posts on ST lately with Chrome (wtf) ........and Chrome doesn't handle GIFs very well
I've also tried Waterfox .... seems to be a lighter version of FF ... not bad

Firefox, before that Netscape. I'm conservative, i don't like to change the browser. I tried other browsers but i never liked them, Firefox sucked for a while, but they improved it a lot since everyone jumped on chrome.
I also sometimes use Lynx.

Desktop: Chrome. Simply the fastest, smoothest browser I've ever used.
Tablet: Dolphin when I'm using touchscreen, Chrome when I've got a KB & Mouse plugged in due to having a lot of regular keyboard commands progged into the browser.

When Chrome Beta is finally Ironed out, I might make the move. But until then, Dolphin just kills it.
